Description
Marine Garden
Marine Garden is a 3-page lesson pack for Grades 5 to 7. The worksheet set is two pages of reading and writing activities with drawings.
This unit presents an account of a surprising discovery off the coast of south-eastern Australia in 2016. Before that year, scientists did not think that such flora and fauna would be found there. Vegetation, fish, sponges and other life flourish deep underwater. A remotely-operated vehicle (ROV) made this discovery possible.
Literacy tasks focus on nouns, verbs and adjectives. Review questions on the content of the text follow the literacy tasks.
